So, I thought that we needed a thread for book suggestions (Sci-fi and fantasy books to be specific). So here's my idea, if you have a book you think other people should know about, then you post the title, author's name, and a brief synopsis (not enough to spoil anything important hopefully). If anyone wants to discuss the books with eachother, that's groshing, just try not to spoil *too* much about the book. ;)
Okay?
I'd like to suggest: The Silver Metal Lover, and Metallic Love, by Tanith Lee
They're sort of a tragic (and not so tragic) robot love story, set in a semi-near, slightly post-apocalyptic future. They're some of the better sci-fi books I've read, due in no small part to the fact that Tanith Lee actually writes, and creates worlds where women exist (in a more real sense than most other sci-fi authors do), and partly due to my tragic robot fetish...
...but anyway, I'd like to reccomend those books to most anyone...as long as you aren't going to be a creepy fan-boy/girl about any of the robots, they deserve *SO* much more than that.
